Metronome

A metronome digital source unit. Emits an “on” signal at a regular pace.

Example

#include <Plaquette.h>

Metronome myMetro(0.5); // a metronome with a half-second duration

DigitalOut led(13);

void begin() {
}

void step() {
  if (myMetro)
  {
    // Change LED state.
    led.toggle();
  }
}

Reference

class Metronome : public DigitalUnit

Chronometer digital unit which emits 1/true/”on” for one frame, at a regular pace.

Public Functions

Metronome(float period = 1.0f)

Constructor.

Parameters:: period – the period of oscillation (in seconds)

inline virtual bool isOn(): Returns true iff the metronome fires.

virtual void period(float period)

Sets the period (in seconds).

Parameters:: period – the period of oscillation (in seconds)

inline virtual float period() const: Returns the period (in seconds).

virtual void frequency(float frequency)

Sets the frequency (in Hz).

Parameters:: frequency – the frequency of oscillation (in Hz)

inline virtual float frequency() const: Returns the frequency (in Hz).

virtual void bpm(float bpm)

Sets the frequency in beats-per-minute.

Parameters:: bpm – the frequency of oscillation (in BPM)

inline virtual float bpm() const: Returns the frequency (in BPM).

virtual void phase(float phase)

Sets the phase (ie.

the offset, in % of period).

Parameters:: phase – the phase (in % of period)

inline virtual float phase() const: Returns the phase (in % of period).

virtual void onBang(EventCallback callback): Registers event callback on metronome tick event.

inline virtual bool isOff(): Returns true iff the input is “off”.

inline virtual int getInt(): Returns value as integer (0 or 1).

inline virtual float get(): Returns value as float (either 0.0 or 1.0).
